i know it is history now and chucks name is there, but there was an amazing documentary on how the british were really light years ahead in jet engine technology (the germans were a lot further still) and were "forced" to give up by their own government......... it seems the americans have always had the big(gest) stick
i think it was frank whittle if i am not mistaken, anyhow he was very close and very confident of breaking the sound barrier
interesting!
